What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VLG is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 13.0% = 10.5% × 0.94 × 1.31
2026Q1 3.7% = 1.5% × 1.71 × 1.43

ROE fell from 13.0% to 3.7% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 1.5% -9.0pp Asset turnover: 1.71x +0.76x Leverage: 1.43x +0.12x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 1.54%, losing 9.0pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 0.9pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.7pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.7pp).

Is capital being used efficiently?

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.63x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.12x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 16.4bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.12x and interest coverage at 336.17x.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 9.0 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 19.5%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.12x.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.12x of equity.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 19.5% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -2.13x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.54% after a 9.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
